Nationally, about 11% of the total U.S. cotton crop is destroyed each year by hail. An insurance company is studying cotton hail-damage claims in Lubbock County. A random sample of 16 claims gave a sample mean of x = 12.5%. Let x be a random variable that represents the percentage of cotton crop in Lubbock County lost to hail. Assume that x has a normal distribution and o = 5.0%. Do these data indicate that they percentage of cotton crop lost to hail in Lubbock County is different (either way) from the national mean of 11%? Use alpha = .01 %3D

Allen's hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin) has been studied by zoologist Bill Alther.† Suppose a small group of 11 Allen's hummingbirds has been under study in Arizona. The average weight for these birds is x = 3.15 grams. Based on previous studies, we can assume that the weights of Allen's hummingbirds have a normal distribution, with ? = 0.22 gram.
A researcher is interested in whether there is a difference between male and female college students in the amount of time spent doing volunteer work for the last 6 months. The researcher gathers a random sample of college students. The amount of time volunteering is measured in hours, which is an interval level-ratio and is normally distributed. Which statistical test should be used to analyze this data? a. Multiple regression b. paired samples t-test c. independent groups t-test d. Factorial ANOVA
In semiconductor manufacturing, wet chemical etching is often used to remove silicon from the backs of wafers prior to metalization. The etch rate is an important characteristic in this process and known to follow a normal distribution. Two different etching solutions have been compared, using two random samples of 10 wafers for each solution. Assume the variances are equal. The etch rates are as follows (in mils per minute): Solution 1 Solution 2 9.8 10.2 10.3 10.6 9.4 10.3 10.6 10.2 9.3 10.0 10.7 10.7 9.6 10.3 10.4 10.4 10.2 10.1 10.5 10.3 (a) Calculate the sample mean for solution 1:Ij = i 3.632 Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).

The following summary data (sample statistics) are collected? nį = 10 x, = 23 S1 = 3 Brand I Brand II n2 = 12 x2 = 25 S2 = 4 Assume that the two populations are normally distributed. A. Test at 5 % level of significance, whether there is a difference in the mean amounts of caffeine between the 2 brands of coffee. B. Construct a 95% Confidence Interval to estimate the difference in the mean amounts of caffeine in 2 brands of coffee. C. Does the result in part b) confirm your findings from part a)?
A random sample of 16 statistics examinations from a large population was taken. The average score in the sample was 78.6 with a sample variance of 64.
